Care from locals that puts you first

Home Caring Wollongong provides the highest standards of care from locally based support workers you can trust. We provide a range of services with flexibility, dedication and compassion – all while building a relationship with the people we care for.

From our personal experience with caring for loved ones along their aged care journey, we understand the unique challenges involved. We’re committed to helping people live well in their home, while supporting them to live a life that brings them joy and meaning.

Our Values

Care should always be personal. Our care team will take the time to get to know you, understand your needs, and work with you to provide services that make a genuine difference to your quality of life. Whether you need transport to appointments around the Illawarra, personal care, health care at home or allied health services, we’re here to help.

Our ‘person-first’ caring culture gives us a framework for our range of services. We:

• Believe in putting the person first
• Improve people’s lives
• Collaborate
• Care about the details
• Deliver high quality care

On the ground level, this means:

• We treat you as an individual – we respect your values and expressed wishes, with sensitive and compassionate personal care.
• We collaborate with you – your goals and wishes are important. You are in the driver’s seat and take an active role in your care.
• We communicate and listen – the best care happens when everyone – from client to family member and care worker – is on the same page.
• We are sensitive to cultural and family needs – Home Caring supports people from many different cultures, and is well trained to provide appropriate and sensitive services.
• We value your independence – we focus on what people can do for themselves, and empower them to live as independently as possible.
• We value your dignity, comfort and safety – we aren’t just concerned about what we do; we also care about how we do it.
• We take a holistic approach to your care – we work with you to deliver a plan that truly cares for every aspect of your being.
